“What!” Hao Ren’s eyes widened, and he asked Grandma immediately, “Where are they trapped?”
In the recent years, to develop the tourism industry, the East Ocean City repaired the district near where Hao Ren’s home was each year, and the seaside road was well-maintained, and the hills facing the road was reinforced each year. That was why landslides had never happened in recent years.
“He’s still on the line. Talk to him!” Grandma put the cell phone into Hao Ren’s hand.
“Hello? Hello?” Hao Ren yelled anxiously into the phone.
“Ren, we’re fine. Don’t worry. The landslide happened ahead of us and blocked our way. We have called for help, but we’ll have to wait for a while due to the storm. You should go to bed early; we are safe in the car.” Hao Zhonghua’s voice sounded over the phone
“Are there any cars behind you?” Hao Ren asked immediately.
“No. It’s late, and few cars are driving on this road at this time. Besides, I hear that there are smaller landslides on other sections of the road as well, and I guess they trapped the cars behind us. Don’t worry; the car has lots of gas, and the air conditioner is in good order,” Hao Zhonghua said.
Hao Ren thought for a few seconds with the cell phone in his hand.
If it had been any other time, Hao Ren wouldn’t worry. However, the East Ocean Dragon Clan and the West Ocean Dragon Clan were officially entering a war today…
The more he thought about it, the more worried he got. After pushing the cell phone into Grandma’s hand, he said, “I’ll drive over and take a look!”
“Ren, I’ll go with you!” Grandma grabbed his hand and said anxiously.
She scolded Hao Zhonghua for this and that regularly, but she was the most anxious one when he was in danger.
“Grandma, you should stay at home. I’ll go alone!” Hao Ren convinced Grandma to stay in her room.
“I’ll go as well!” A clear voice sounded behind them.
In her pajamas, Zhao Yanzi got out of bed and shouted at Hao Ren.
She looked anxious, obviously worried about Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang’s safety.
“All of you stay at home!” Hao Ren picked up the keys and dashed to the stairs.
However, Zhao Yanzi put her slippers on and followed him downstairs.
Ignoring her, Hao Ren opened the door and dashed to the garage in the downpour.
In her thin pajamas, Zhao Yanzi ran out after him.
“What are you doing?” Hao Ren turned his head and glared at her.
“I’m going with you!” Zhao Yanzi looked determined as the rain wetted her clothes.
Frowning, Hao Ren rushed back into the house and pulled a jacket from the closet behind the door. After throwing the jacket over her shoulders, he dashed to the garage again.
Zhao Yanzi froze for a moment before kicking off her slippers and running toward the garage with her bare feet.
“What’s happening, Grandma?” Xie Yujia’s voice came from the house.
“Yujia, please stay home with Grandma!” Hao Ren shouted after empowering his voice with his nature essence before driving the red Ferrari out of the garage.
Afraid that the West Ocean Dragon Clan schemed to split them, he asked Xie Yujia to stay and guard the house.
While the car dashed out of the neighborhood, Hao Ren released Little White from his necklace.
On its white neck hung a dazzling golden bell, and Hao Ren used it to send a message to Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, asking them to come and guard the villa.
Since Zhen Congming lived in the house, he must have placed some powerful array formations around it. However, since he was now with Hao Zhonghua and couldn’t manage the array formations himself, the power of the array formations was limited.
Swoosh… Splashing through the puddles, the Ferrari dashed toward the seaside road.
With driving skills as excellent as Hao Zhonghua’s and reflexes that improved after cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, Hao Ren was able to control the car excellently. Like a flash of red light, the car flew across the road.
Thud!
Zhao Yanzi lost her grip of the handle on the door, and she fell into Hao Ren’s arms upon a sharp turn.
“It’s not too late for you to go back,” Hao Ren said coldly, stepping hard on the gas pedal.
“No!” Zhao Yanzi said as she bit her lip.
She was worried about Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang’s safety. After all, her parents had the protection of the troops of East Ocean, but Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were just mortals!
She didn’t want Hao Ren’s parents to be hurt in the conflict between the dragon clans because of her!
Her fingernails cut into her palms, leaving deep marks.
Roar… The Ferrari sped up on the straight road even more.
The dark clouds hovered low in the sky and stretched across the shoreline, running hundreds of kilometers.
In the dark night, Hao Ren saw several purple light beams flashing in the distant sky.
“Little White!” Hao Ran yelled.
Roar!
Little White leaped up, turning into its snow lion form. With the forward momentum of the car, it flew up into the sky.
Hao Ren stepped on the brake abruptly, and the Ferrari immediately slowed down on the slippery road.
“Move!” Hao Ren grabbed Zhao Yanzi’s arm with one hand. While the car slowed down, he leaped up by kicking his right foot lightly on the steering wheel, jumping onto Little White’s back.
Hao Ren’s movements were smooth and efficient.
On the other hand, Zhao Yanzi scrambled onto Little White’s back and turned around under the momentum, crashing onto Hao Ren’s chest.
Beneath her jacket, she was wearing a thin and loose pajama. Therefore, her body completely pressed against Hao Ren’s.
“Speed up!” Hao Ren applied more force to Little White with his legs. Then, Little White kicked hard with its paws and flew high up over the hill quickly.
Zhao Yanzi found herself being clenched onto Hao Ren’s body tightly as if Hao Ren was holding a teddy bear with one hand. When she looked up, she saw his determined expression in the pouring rain.
Hao Ren’s clothes and hair were soaked, and they stuck to his body. However, in the lightning flashes of the storm, he looked quite heroic.
Zhao Yanzi wanted to struggle and yell, but now her body turned to jelly in his arms, and she remained silent.
In each girl’s heart lived a hero. Right now, Hao Ren’s silent figure in the lightning storm merged with the vague hero in her heart.
The purple flashes floated dashed out in the distant sky. With Zhao Yanzi in his arms, Hao Ren concentrated all his attention on scanning the road and searching for the white Ford in the storm.
“Little White, Southwest!” Hao Ren yelled.
With two chirps, Little White flew swiftly in the southwest direction.
A dark red energy sphere was there in the stormy night, and inside the energy sphere was Hao Zhonghua’s white Ford.
Sitting in the car, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were talking while listening to music, oblivious to the red energy sphere around them.
It was clear that Zhen Congming created the energy sphere.
Hao Ren found Zhen Congming quite honorable since the latter stayed with Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang and protected them!
“Uncle, Auntie!” Zhao Yanzi yelled in excitement.
Sitting in the car, Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua couldn’t hear her yells or see them in the high sky. They were animatedly discussing the results of the Enzymatic Hydrolysis Technique.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Three purple nets suddenly shot toward Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi from three directions.
Alerted, Little White immediately retreated at the sight of the nets.
However, another purple net appeared behind it.
Ambush!
Hao Ren had a bad feeling about this.
The landslide was only a bait, and the prey was Hao Ren who would definitely come out to search for his parents!
Swoosh… Hao Ren released all 160 sword energies.
Ding! Ding… The sword energies collided with the nets, making metallic noises. However, the sword energies couldn’t break the nets, and many of the sword energies dashed passed the nets through the holes on them!
“Two Dragons Array Formation!” Hao Ren’s sword energies immediately formed two tornados.
Like two intertwined dragons, the two tornados pounced at the crack between the nets, breaking an opening.
Having stayed with Zhen Congming for a long time, Little White learned some things from him. Immediately, it carried Zhao Yanzi and flew out of the broken crack Hao Ren had created. Then, it fled toward the east.
When it flew with full force, even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator couldn’t catch up with it.
The purple flashes chased after Little White immediately.
Obviously, Zhao Yanzi was also the target on top of Hao Ren.
Hao Ren was sure that the trap was set up by the cultivators from the West Ocean Dragon Clan!
“They are still afraid of Zhen Congming who had burned half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace. Not daring to make a move against him, they are trying to lure me out with the trick of a landslide! If Zhen Congming isn’t in the car, they would have made a move against my parents!” At this thought, Hao Ren was burning with rage!
Silver lightning energy crackled like crazy all over his body.
Hundun lightning could break anything made of the five elements!
The current Hao Ren was no longer the same Hao Ren who just reached Zhen-level!
A grey sword energy rose in the sky.
In such stormy weather, the lightning energy in nature was at its peak!
Hua… Hundreds of lightning bolts crashed down from the clouds like raindrops!
Instantly, the hills, the road, and the ocean surface were lit up as if it was daytime.
All the signals in this area were cut off.
Astonished at the blinding white flashes around them, Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua who had been talking turned their gazes to the outside world.
Bang! Bang… Hundreds of lightning bolts struck the ocean surface, the hill, the forest, and the beach at almost the same time. The big trees were cut in half, huge waves surged in the sea, and huge holes were put into the hills!
The elders from West Ocean who were hiding in the area were all exposed!
The places with greatest essence intensity attracted the heavenly lightning the most. As a result, these elders who cultivated nature essence were the targets of the lightning bolts.
In the blink of an eye, everything sank into darkness.
Hiding in the darkness, the West Ocean elders held their breaths.
Even though he was trapped in the Purple Spirit Immortal Killing Net, Hao Ren just pointed his finger at the sky and activated the power of nature. These elders were stunned.
The Purple Spirit Immortal Killing Net was one of the treasures they had taken out of the Nine Dragon Palace. However, such a treasure couldn’t even lock Hao Ren down!
There were 16 Dui-level elders here, and four of them controlled the Purple Spirit Immortal Killing Net from each direction. They built a huge trap to catch Hao Ren!
The West Ocean Dragon Clan wanted to get a vital bargaining chip before the war officially began!
